1. Kozlik's Canadian Mustard
Toronto, ON M5E 1C3
(416) 361-9788
Category:
Specialty Food
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
The best mustards of life. Of life, people. If you eat mustard, please go to Kozlik's at St.Lawrence Market, use 25 of their pretzels and sample as many as you can. And then buy some for home usage, I use the pop holder in my fridge as a mustard…More »

This place is like the no frills of whole foods. I have been going to fiesta farms for years and always find it to be an extremely satisfying journey. I love grocery shopping and I love a good deal, so when I can get organic, local produce, dalry and…More »
3. Messina Bakery
York, ON M6N 4J5
(416) 762-2496
For the reasons other people don't seem to like Messina Bakery, I love it. It is crowded, with great Italian brands of pasta, tomatoes, olive oils, sauces and a section of breads and baked goods. I love how it is crowded with quality ingredients at…More »
4. The Spice Trader
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(647) 430-7085
Category:
Herbs and Spices
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
The Spice Trader is like a drug to me. I walk on the other side of the street to avoid the temptation of the little green tins of fennel pollen, ancho, marjoram, ceylon cinnamon, long pepper and epazote. If you want a spice, they've got it, and can…More »

Categories:
Caterers,
Delis,

Vincenzo's was a shock to me. I went to my hometown for some family time and was taken to this fantastically stocked fine foods store. I am always on the hunt for specific items, my current obsession is Ligurian olive oil, a sometimes difficult to…More »
6. Sweet Flour Bake Shop
Toronto, ON M6S 1P3
(416) 763-2253
I have visited sweet flour too much lately. It is my bloor west village cryptonite. My first review was 4 stars, but my experiences here since have made me want to up the ante. The coffee from I-Deal is now our go-to at-home french-press bean.…More »

Category:
Meat Shops

If you can't get to a farmers market, go to Sanagan's. They have a good selection of interesting types of meat and cuts that you won't see other places. The guys that run the shop are really friendly and willing to chat about what you should do with…More »

9. DAVIDsTEA
David's Tea is a zen oasis of tea. The tea is fresh, well displayed and so very tasty. The staff are patient with my repeated requests to smell this tea, or that tea, and they skillfully describe each tea so that I almost know what it will taste like…More »
10. Costco
Etobicoke, ON M8X 1G2
(416) 251-2832
Category:
Wholesale Stores

What can I say? I love Costco. I am a city girl with a suburbanites bulk food shopping habits. I put on my mom-jeans and shop till I drop at Costco. What do I love about Costco...
Is it the kilo of real Parmigiano for $23? Yes!
Is it the kilo real…More »
11. Soma Chocolatemaker
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
(416) 815-7662
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
You can smell Soma before you see it. It is a good idea to go inside and be hit by an even stronger waft of cocoa. The mayan hot chocolate is good, spicy at the end, I like it with frothed milk. The truffles are amazing. I think the best in the city.…More »
12. DAVIDsTEA
David and his mystical teas are just fantastic. This location is just as good as my regular tea drinking spot in Bloor West Village. The tea-rista (?) was enthusiastic beyond belief and sold me a beautiful peppermint tea and a delicious toasted…More »
13. Bloor Superfresh
Toronto, ON M5S 1X2
(416) 964-8318
Categories:
Grocery,
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: The Annex
I don't live in the Annex anymore, but when I am in the ol' hood I know I can find most any vegetable I need at Bloor Superfresh. The selection is much better than the grocery stores and fruit stand in the neighbourhood. The dry goods are kind of…More »
